Experimental Comparison of Moisture Characteristics of Two Types of Sandstone

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of an experimental comparison of essential moisture characteristics of two types of sandstone, intended for the outdoor use. In addition to traditional physical properties, dynamics of absorption of both materials in its original condition as well as after the hydrophobization were investigated. The aim of the experiment is to determine the most suitable material variations for the reconstruction.
